bottomofthestackIce Bear is hard for just about everyone to read most times due to his near-silence, monotone voice, and lack of expression. He doesn't speak much, preferring action to express himself, and is actually physically incapable of raising his voice to match his mood. When he does speak, he speaks in third-person, uses few words per sentence, and speaks few sentences at a time. This doesn't stop him from properly getting his thoughts and opinions across though and he does feel strongly about his friends and family.
As the youngest bear, Ice Bear 's place is the bottom of the stack. They view their stack as a boat, but Ice Bear sees himself as being the boat. He doesn't mind carrying their collective weight though and is content with his place normally. Similarly, his role in the cave is that of housekeeper. He usually does the cooking and cleaning by himself, and often any repairs as well. He takes pride in his place, and doesn't appreciate any threats to his position or anyone ruining his hard work.
Despite having many activities outside of his various chores, Ice Bear seems to mostly enjoy them and doesn't really know how to do his own thing. Given the choice to pick an activity, chores are his first choice. He does enjoy yoga, martial arts, knitting, and watching ice-skating as well though. He also will play games with his brothers or friends, anything from charades to basketball. He may also try to humor them if they want to do something he really isn't interested in.
One of the most notable things about Ice Bear is his versatile nature. He applies himself to many things and is always at least adequate, but often excels at just about anything that he sets out to do. Most of what he does comes across as effortless, but is less him showing off and more using his skills to their fullest. His strongest skills are in ninja movement and cooking, with martial arts and yoga being potentially close behind. The sheer amount of things he can do and has done shows that he may very well be the most intelligent.
Ice Bear is completely comfortable in himself and who he is. He takes up trends that get him acceptance, but he won't outright change himself to make himself marketable. He's not ashamed of his appearance and won't physically change himself, and he won't do anything that outright goes against his beliefs.
Despite the amount of people that have ignored or wronged him in his life, Ice Bear isn't particularly wary of humans and has no problem interacting with them. If not given a clear reason to mistrust them or they aren't annoying him, then he's pretty easygoing when it comes to them. Even as a cub he was more than willing to approach people as needed, or to be picked up and given affection by those who seem kind. As an adult there's less of a desire for affection from anyone offering, but no less ease of being around them. He's even had a crush on a girl.
On the opposite side of that, Ice Bear doesn't really mix with other animals, as those that speak have been extremely few in number. Most are just regular animals and so he usually doesn't deal with them if there's no reason to, much like a human in his position would. He does speak bird, most notably pigeon, but that's as far as his communication skills seem to go. He seems to have a fairly strong dislike for dogs as a cub, and most animals he's been seen around as an adult have been a major nuisance. The exception to this is crabs, namely Captain Craboo, as when his brothers brought Craboo home he pinched Ice Bear's ear and ruined his day.
While he's not portrayed as being fearless, Ice Bear maintains his composure much more often than not. He's rarely one to panic and is often the first to take action when there's trouble. He's fiercely protective of his brothers and friends, even if he doesn't exactly like that friend, and will try to do right by them. One thing that really seems to unnerve him is crabs, which he seemed to dislike anyway before one pinched his ear and wouldn't let go. For a time, he wouldn't go near them. But this is actually short lived in the show as he later bonded with Craboo and Craboo stood up for him when he was shoved by Nom Nom, the incredibly cute but mean koala viral video star.
Being a polar bear, Ice Bear is most comfortable in cool environments. He uses cool breezes to de-stress and sleeps in the fridge rather than an actual bed when the option is there. He is also mostly a carnivore, though he doesn't exclusively eat meat. He's somewhere between being domesticated and being wild, enjoying all the comforts of modern living but not considering himself human and not being a pet. He can become feral and violent when starving though, and would remain that way until he finds food. He doesn't remember being such though and so acts as though nothing happened.
Even at an early age, Ice Bear has had an affinity for sharp weapons such as axes, machetes and ninja starts. He has even crafted a makeshift ax from a soda can and a machete from a piece of wood. As an adult, he often sleeps with his ax. He has had the skills to be fully independent from an early age too, but he seems to need to have a place despite this and follows Grizz's instructions rather than taking charge.
Abilities
Ice Bear is very strong, able to carry both of his brothers on his back and run for miles without tiring while doing so. He's also very agile and had been from a young age. He has excellent focus that can be applied to many things, even being able to correctly guess all impressions in charades without fail.
Despite his preference to speak very little, Ice Bear can speak English, German, French, Russian, Japanese, and Korean, as well as communicate with birds. He does not seem to be able to speak to nonspeaking animals though.
Despite his more domestic life, Ice Bear is physically a normal polar bear and has all of the traits associated with them. One odd thing is that his translucent fur allows him to blend into his surroundings when he wants to hide like the stereotype for a chameleon.
Along with his ninja-like agility, Ice Bear is also good at crafting things, repairing or building machines or vehicles, and the use of sharp objects. He's able to read even as a cub, which he may use toward mastering new skills.
